In context
14But I will cry to thee, O Lord, in my prayer; O God, it is a propitious time: in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, In the truth of thy salvation.
15Save me from the mire, that I stick not in it: Let me be delivered from them that hate me, and from the deep waters.
— Psalms 68:16 —
17Hear me, O Lord; for thy mercy is good: According to the multitude of thy compassions look upon me.
18And turn not away thy face from thy servant; For I am afflicted: hear me speedily.
